Hi Perry, I'd strongly suggest normal backup would be a better strategy for those items.
Source Control is really designed for those things that you use to build a system. Code, parameters, schema (file & dictionary) generation scripts, etc. The data for that system would typically *not* be kept in source control (unless you're feeling masochistic ;). Just in case you haven't seen this: http://tfsguide.codeplex.com/ has guidelines for what you want to do and which is TFS specific. Also, from what I just read, TFS is not case sensitive which will be an issue if you ever have 2 items under control with differently cased equivalent names.

I am particularly intrigued by Stuart's handling of dictionaries using triggers. One particular challenge I may face is one particular hashed file (not a dictionary) which contains 2 1/2 million records that are under source control today. Copying them out to a directory might pose some problems with inode consumption.
